Leonidas Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The angle though is Hangman doing whatever it takes not to necessarily be champion himself, but to stop Swerve from becoming champ. Hangman going full unhinged heel is where the story goes in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I'm not sure I'm ready for Joe to not be champ already, but I do think Swerve will make a great champ at some point. The way his character has become, he can easily switch between heel or face depending on his opponent. It sort of reminds me of the old touring champion switching it up depending on the territory's challenger. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Swerve does go over here, that ought to be great when they get to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 18 hours ago, Zakk_Sabbath said: I'm probably being an idiot here: are there any changes in the shoot besides it now becoming a title bout? In theory, it should main event for all of the reasons you noted. No disagreement here. The only piece of it I have reservations about is length - I'd just really, really hate for the crowd to dump on a tremendous effort if it ends up being a short-yet-chaotic affair (which I think has been a real winning formula for a lot of these Sting tags/trios so far). If Sting feels he can hang for 20 minutes or whatever? Then fuck yeah, go for it. The winner is the other piece - this is kinda parallel to a conversation I am having with a couple guys in the TV thread right now, but I think whatever the finish is will also dictate card placement to a degree - is it a "send them home happy" affair, or is it a Bucks heat-fest? I completely get the idea of not wanting to fade to black on the heels standing tall over a fallen Sting. I also completely get the idea of Sting wanting to go out on his back if he so desires - Idk that there's a wrong answer or path. This is tough, man. Joe deserves it for a long, long time, but when it comes to Swerve, I've got that voice going "Strike while the iron's hot." Hangman isnt a bad choice by any means, but with how important a story his first title chase was, I'd like him to get it back in a situation that has a little more meat on the bone, narratively speaking. I think going with Swerve here, and having Hangman be driven insane by it (I guess not unsimilar to Timeless Toni's story, but played straight) might be fruitful later on. Sting and Darby win and vacate due to Retirement and Everest. Well all know how our boy Coach K loves a tournament so you can use that to elevate someone maybe Top Flight? I've felt that Swerve v Hangman should have shades of Raven v Dreamer. Have Swerve just keep pulling out wins until Hangman finally gets the big one 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Lethal Lottery idea better but this isn't a bad shout, other than I feel like it maybe makes the outcome a little less in doubt... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryArchieGus Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I’ll take a tournament every week over another battle royal. A round robin tag tournament the way of the continental breakfast classic with the winning team claiming the belts would be truly wonderful.

I'd like to see Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher split off from the Don Callis Family, then re-unite Aussie Open when Mark Davis is ready to return and have Ospreay and Aussie Open remain as the United Empire. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
